There are several models of S9 listed in the manual section. How can I tell which one I have? The label on the bottom only says S9, with SN (serial number?) 22101715590 and REF 36005 and LOT 254703A. Is there only one "S9" and if so why are there multiple manuals listed? Thanks for any help.

According to a quick google search, your Ref # means that you have an S9 Autoset. To the best of my knowledge (which I am gaining fairly quickly on this board) there are a few different S9 models out there. Myself, I have the elite. The autoset and the elite both have data recording capabilities which you can read via a card reader and software designed for reading CPAP data. I find that SleepyHead is a very user friendly platform for analyzing CPAP data.

I apologize if I have already asked this of you but I notice you are Canadian.
Is it safe to assume you have to buy your own S9 Elite?

You weren't prescribed it were you?

I have a brother-in-law that has Sleep Apnea, who by the way doesn't have ONE inch of fat on him at 55 years of age.
This guy has ripples on his ripples on his stomach.
He works out about 3 hours every day.
Which puts to rest the idea that one must be overweight to have SA.

Anyhow, in his case he was prescribed the Elite with his insurance paying most of it and he had to pay, I think it was 25% of it himself.

My health plan at the moment pays 100% so I see there wasn't any way they were giving me a auto set or elite

as others have pointed out, it says stuff on the front, but that's not 100%.

the 100% way to tell is the REF number, here's what I've found out so far:
